Like you, I just act like I usually would and people get feisty. who gives an eff, I sure don't.
πππ Now I have a clearer image. I see you like a bit of a contest of wills as well. You know, each day, I get a little more tired and have a little less energy for it. Still it likes to drop by my door, lol.
I don't recall when exactly I started to make use of a different technique that's evolved over time. It's become an acronym I use as a reminder, #ratep and nope, not going to explain that one to anyone. I've found it to be highly effective, conserves energy, and is not harmful to anyone. π
Dang it.
Way to raise up my hopes and then shove it back in my face π
I will have to devise my own technique then. Patent it or summat π
π The question always gets asked about such things, so I try to catch it before it gets asked. Yes, I'm ridiculous at times, but all meant in good fun.
Absolutely. You're an individual, gotta speak to who you are with what you choose. I highly encourage it (throws fuel on the fire).
In all seriousness though, my technique is nothing new, nothing special, and something that every human does many times in the course of their lives. The idea is to be very conscious and aware of applying it where it needs to be applied and not applying from an emotionally reactive place. So, a consideration, an observing of whatever it is over time, and intuitively deciding when to apply said technique. There is also flexibility built into it.
Maybe that helps a bit with finding your own technique. ππ€ͺ
No wayπ
You practically just laid it all out now for me.
I'm thankful
Lately I've been in a bad place, also the reason for the late response, hopefully it gets better.
I trust things are well with you
π have fun with that!
I'm a bit curious as to what you're going through but not going to ask since that's a bit personal. Since I'm not sure what you're going through, I'll say what I say to everyone, listen to your intuition and inner guide. That will never let you down.
As well as they can be given my personal situation since 2020. I focus only on the present moment, which makes it all manageable. Everything here is temporary and I take great solace in that.
Thank you so much. The only problem is that I seem to have lost my inner guide too. Crazy apathy. I would dig myself out of this rut though. I trust. And you've been of great help too π
This is really deep. Maybe a change in perspective is so I need. Thank you for being so wise π and I'm genuinely happy things are good for you
You're welcome. Apathy is something I've experienced to enough of a degree to say that it obscures connection to one's inner guide, giving the sensation of that being "lost", when it's just the fog of apathy obscuring it.
This is the approach exactly. You see, you already know. Everything in this world is a temporary experience, which is easily observed. That being the case, then a good question to ask oneself is what is not temporary? Throwing that out there for consideration.
I wouldn't say things are good or bad for me; they just "are", so to speak, and I focus on the middle ground, the space in between duality, a place of stillness.
Blow my mind every time π
I wonder why I keep coming back to read this comment and then forget to reply entirely.
Well, for starters since our little convo, I've started to get up. I even made a publication for my newsletter yesterday.
There seems to be a beacon of light. Thanks to you
The middle ground π―ππΎ
